The bacteria we are growing contain both chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA. Both are circular, but they are different. In 3-5 sentences, discuss at least 3 differences between the chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA found in our bacterial cells.

Please find the explanation of the differences between chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA below

Explanation:

As stated in this question, a bacteria cell contains both chromosomal or genomic DNA and an extra chromosomal DNA called PLASMID. They are both circular in shape but are different from one another in the following ways:

- Chromosomal DNA is larger in appearance than the plasmid DNA, hence, they differ in terms of size.

- Chromosomal DNA encodes all the information in the genome of the bacterial cell necessary for their growth and development while plasmid DNA encodes few additional beneficial characteristics such as antibiotic resistance, virulence etc.

- Chromosomal DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form the chromosome structure but plasmid DNA is naked and not wrapped around histone proteins.

starchy vegetables are high in carbohydrates.

starchy vegetables contain more carbohydrates than non-starchy vegetables.

explanation:

there are two primary categories of carbohydrates, essentially differentiated on the basis of their carbohydrate content (which is in the form of starch - a complex carbohydrate):

those vegetables which contain little amounts of starch are termed as non-starchy vegetables, and some examples include: artichokes, broccoli and bean sprouts.

vegetables high in their starch content are distinguished as starchy vegetables, and some examples include: potatoes, chickpeas and corn.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
